Easter Sunday Reflections – From Jelly Beans to

Easter Sunday Reflections – From Jelly Beans to Fried Fish

By Stephanie Carmon | MID CityBeat

🐣 🐰 ⛪️ 🏖️

Happy Easter from sunny Mérida!

This holiday always brings up memories of egg hunts, jelly beans, and family dinners from my childhood in California—but also my first Easter in Mérida 15 years ago, when I brought my kids on what was supposed to be a vacation (but let’s be honest, I was already in love with this city).

Growing up Catholic, Easter meant mass, dyed eggs, pastel dresses, and lots of sugar. When I moved to Latin America at 24, I quickly learned Easter here is something different—less bunnies, more beach and deep devotion. In Yucatán, you’ll find powerful passion plays in the pueblos and families gathered by the sea with fried fish and caguamas instead of Peeps and chocolate eggs.

It took me a while, but I’ve come to love this blend of traditions—my kids may not have had jelly bean baskets, but they’ve witnessed incredible moments of faith and joy by the ocean.

And really, that’s what Easter is all about: rebirth, fusion, and finding sweetness in unexpected places.

Wishing you love, light, and maybe a Cadbury egg or two.
—Stephanie
